French Podcasts

Listening to French spoken is a must when you are learning the language, especially if you are not able to go to France very often. Luckily, there is now a wide range of podcasts available online than can allow you to listen to stories, conversations and mini-lessons at your level.

I recommend you include one or two as part of your weekly routine (listen in the car, on the train, in bed, whilst cooking, gardening, etc) as they are a great way, not only to improve your comprehension and accent, but also to  learn a bit more about French culture.

A few apps and sites for you to explore :
